The Odoru Daisousasen THE MUSEUM exhibition opens September 9 at Ginza Mitsukoshi, relocating from its summer run in Odaiba with new displays tied to the September 18 film Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W. A press preview on September 8 showed costumes for the new generation cast, Aoshima's current free-address desk, and Seven Bear plush figures. Director Katsuyuki Motohiro and producer Chihiro Kameyama led the tour and explained the design choices.
The new cast costumes carry deliberate color coding. Producer Chihiro Kameyama said Suzunaga Akane is built around red, Murashita Kiiko around yellow, and Shibata Hibari, the Taito Police Station detective, always has one red piece to keep a burning hibari image. Masushita Yuki's suspenders were chosen to match the pattern his father Masayoshi wore.
Director Katsuyuki Motohiro pointed to the pink jacket worn by Kaya Noro's welfare division officer, printed with Happiness Support Unit on the back. Aoshima's desk is a free-address desk, not the fixed seat from the TV series, with cardboard and personal items scattered around. The ashtray now holds batteries, since smoking is no longer allowed. The exhibition runs through October 12.
